MissRoe, it is a code that you can use on any $25 order at Sephora.com that comes with Awesome free deluxe sized samples, 8 of them! Today is the last day to use it.

I'am waiting on the cyber deals /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I did however already buy the extras that I'm putting in (at least what I consider extras lol). The main gift itself I will be purchasing soon or if there are sales available.

Lol Sephora is my addiction!! I am trying to tell myself not to spend more money on there! The order was worth it though because I got the 8 deluxe sized samples and I finally got to get my Birthday gift from them too, which was a little Benefit set that included the They're Real mascara I have been dying to try and now I finally get to lol

Well if the BLITZ code is ending today.. that must mean that I have to.. and I mean have to go and order something from Sephora, right?

It ends today?! Ah I have $70 worth of stuff in my Sephora cart. Looks like I have to place my order now. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Edited: I just tried to place my order and it won't let me use the Blitz code. Apparently it can only be used once per person.

Wow!! I just got back from browsing Sephora!! Holy Cannoli!! !They have several awesome things that I would love to have!!

Perhaps I'll update my ss wish list-you know, just in case they need a few specific ideas!!

Almost everything I got from Sephora today was already on sale, with the exception of one set that I'm splitting for gifts.  I can't wait till black friday for most of my stuff.. I'm gonna be stuck doing Christmas with my extended family :/  but I'm kind of hoping to stack my carts and see what I can get.. also I need to finish up my stocking for my roommate (we do luxurious stocking stuffers instead of real gifts- one day when we both have boyfriends this might change, but until then, us single girls gotta pamper each other).  I've still got a secret santa to do with my best friends from college- this one is almost done!  Just gotta pick up a few more extras and take a LUSH trip.. and I've gotta get my stepmom's gift together.  She loves subscription boxes so I was just gonna fill her up a birchbox or something with fun things and maybe a gift card or two to her favorite places.  She absolutely refuses to tell me what she likes!  Etsy will come to my rescue!

I used my boyfriend's bi account. Cuz yanno... My boyfriend totally set up a BI account on his own volition and picks up extra bday gifts for himself and uses promo codes... (Ok to be fair, he actually got the men's BI bday gift and loved it despite me wanting an extra They're Real!)

I'm done with the main part and I'll spend the next few days picking up extras and making sure its all cutely wrapped /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Horray! I just wanna mail it all out NOOOOW.

I was in between Festive Endurance and Tinsel Twinkle Perfection- but in the end Tinsel Twinkle Perfection won out.  I had a hard time justifying a bag with two mascaras when I needed zero, I already got my roommate one for her stocking.. and I have extra ones from the Ipsy LashBash that my non-makeup wearing friends didn't take.. (they're getting given away, I swear.  It's just taking aaages.)  So no more mascara is allowed to be bought.  *looks at the unopened Mally and unopened They're Real*

But I wanted the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment so badly /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Hint hint.. secret santa.  Oh well, more CC and BB creme for me, which will be good since I go through it like crack.

Good idea hehehe. I totally did not just sign my boyfriend up to a BI. 

 

His birthday is this week though so I did select the men's BI bday gift haha.

Nope. I ordered something today from Birchbox, but I'm waiting to do my Ulta/Sephora shopping on Black Friday & Cyber Monday. 

 

[angienharry]

Thanks to whoever started the questionnaire on this thread. My SS doesn't have any specific wants but I was able to come up w lots of ideas based on her questionnaire answers. I have a long list of things that I can't wait to shop for. This is so much fun. Can we do Secret Santa twice a year? Like have another 1 in June?. Ha Ha!

I agree a Christmas in July theme maybe????

That's what I was deciding between also!! I'm making my older sister her own "lash stash" with all the sample mascaras I've accumulated over the last few months. Her HG is They're Real! so she will be getting a full size of that plus minis plus all other mascaras in the world. She's a serious lash junkie so I think this is a good, almost free, Christmas present.

I'm so excited to try the They're Real! I've heard so many good things about it and I am still in search of my HG mascara so this will hopefully be it!

Ugh god, I'm obsessed with Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments!!! I'm almost outta my clear one and the rose one will be gone soon too.

I have a thing that I have to be done Christmas shopping by black Friday. Even though I'm not in retail anymore I still have flashbacks of those 12 hour days, six days a week. So for years I did all my shopping late October, early November and now I do it automatically.

@KellyKaye That's the saddest thing I've ever heard!  If I don't get my hands on one this Christmas it's gonna be one of the first things I buy myself.  I'm on a low/no buy for myself currently.. or I'll buy everything on my SS list and that's just not helpful. and @missemiee I hope I like it!! I really really want to try it.

@usofjessamerica my HG is They're Real! as well, but I hoard all the others.  That sounds like a perfect gift- I know I've been in a place where I managed to forget to toss my old mascaras and thought I had a lot of ones to keep using but then they were all old!  Being without mascara is the worst, and it sounds like your sister just won't ever be /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
